Half of a yellow sun: was 80% factual about the 1967 Nigeria civil war

Purple hibiscus: love, family relationship and sacrifice that made me cry.

Our husband has gone mad again: I will read this Ola Rotimi piece over and over again... I always laugh aloud while reading this book.

Lion and the jewel: Tho I must confess this book is a bit overhyped but nevertheless it's rich with african proverbs and a lot of morals.

The Blinkard: A ghana comedy also...very funny.

The joy of motherhood: A book written about the pain and joy of women in marriage especially Nigerian women.

But sincerely I live Ola Rotimi works a lot better.

Lovely, I have read almost all of chimamanda's works, she writes so well, she comes second only to China Achebe. I like Ola Rotimis work too especially "our husband has gone mad again"

lol... Ola Rotimi is a badass. He always find ways to relieve tension in his books and at the same time passing his message. Chiamada works are lovely... They are history fill. Unfortunately I've only read 2 of Achebe's work( Things fall apart and The trouble with Nigeria). I'm a student of Political science so I read less of Africa piece for some reasons known to me..... A very nice thread you have here tho

My best novel is still Purple Hibiscus. There's something about that book that just sucks you into its world of fantasy. I've read it so many times and I'll probably still keep on reading it.

You just have to give it to chimamanda, she is outstanding.

I'm sure I have read purple hibiscus more than 3 times
